Statements Official statement
As a true benchmark of growth and development, this year, when I upgrade my phone, I will be disposing of the box immediately. Thank you for listening.

u/Informal_Ad_9610 4h ago

Traitor.
\looks away from my catchyos terminal**
So I’m guessing you put Linux on the Apple now or just don’t buy them?

u/Informal_Ad_9610 4h ago
oh, no... i buy them.. the Studios are running Filemaker server databases, with AI backend driving them.. ipads are all over 3 continents. the other shit? who knows - some of those boxes have been there for years

I’m saying… But this year, I’m a new man… I’m better than I was… And I wanna celebrate that with you!! (I’m probably fucking lying, but it sounds good)

What if you want to sell it at some point?

u/Devo2517 2d ago
I will be unable to sell it as it will be through the next up anytime program with AT&T

But you can still keep the box 👀

u/SnooDucks1214 1d ago
With next up, when you get it sent to your house they instruct you to use the iPhone box to send your old one back in it

u/ConflictTemporary759 6h ago
I’m on next up as well, they don’t instruct you to put it in the iPhone box, they only instruct you to put it in the box that’s provided, I wrap it in bubble wrap heavily each time and add extra padding that’s inside the packaging so the phone doesn’t bounce around.
It is accepted every year with next up
It is not mandatory to use your iPhone box

u/SnooDucks1214 6h ago
I’m on next up been on it for years, they have a slip of instructions that tell you to use the new phones box to put the trade in phone, they been including that Att paper in the boxes for years what are you talking about?

u/Devo2517 5h ago
When you say the new phones box, do you mean the shipping box that the cell phone inside the Apple box comes in… Because if I upgrade from an iPhone Air to an iPhone 18 Pro Max, I don’t know how I would be able to use the cell phone box.

u/SnooDucks1214 28m ago
The apple box the new phone comes in
2
u/Devo2517 28m ago
I believe you… Put in the past five years, I have never returned an iPhone through next up anytime in the Apple box that the phone came in.

Well done. I hope to never develop that much.

u/Devo2517 2d ago
I threw out seven or eight boxes last month from previous years of upgrades… Lol

u/waterwite 2d ago
I don’t have as many as that but I can’t ever throw the boxes. (of most things)

u/Devo2517 2d ago
It was a hard choice, but I got through it… Lol

I keep boxes until the iPhone is officially given/sent back for trade-in credits. Having a box with matching numbers can make the phone more marketable if a re-sale is ever contemplated.

Healing isn't linear. Sometimes it starts with throwing away an iPhone box

u/Positive_Self_8873 4h ago
Pfft well I’m not healing any time soon. I found a iPhone 12 box the other day

Keep the box at least through the return window just in case something goes wrong.

I keep all my boxes from Apple. Not sure why. But not for long…I’ll toss them, too!
2
u/DeyanCat 1d ago
I think part of the problem is that throwing away the box feels like the end of the new phone experience even though you've been using the phone for weeks already.

u/dodjidamirukegrejes 1d ago
Roughly how long does the battery last on your iPhone 18 Pro Max, and how many GB does your model have?
1
u/Devo2517 1d ago
I have no idea. I don’t have an 18 pro max… I just did a next up anytime upgrade for an iPhone 18 pro, which has not been delivered yet.

I really don’t understand you people who put these kinds of posts or say this kind of shit. You do realize keeping the box gives you more resell value, especially if you’re selling your phone to some of these websites. they’ll give you an extra $50 to $100 just for including the damn box
2
u/Devo2517 2d ago
I understand your frustrations, and please accept my apologies. The post was created more for people capable of lighthearted humor and reasonable intelligence. 😃

u/Ordinary-Cable8102 2d ago
Actually, you don’t your acting fucking ignorant. Most of us actually know this, that if you keep the box, you get more money. Lmfao

Keep reading Susan. How am I selling a phone if I’m trading it in? See.. NO intelligence. It’s ok girl. I see you.

The person is demonstrating growth and development which means he is money bags. No need for extra cash 😁

You’re psycho. I’ve already added mine to the shrine of its ancestors.
